That seems fair.

killerofdemons · 2016-03-04T19:18:41+00:00

Nice! I won't be expected to just pay 100% of the bill anymore!!

goalposthead · 2016-03-04T19:28:05+00:00

Wrong on so many levels. There is already a fair way to split the bill. It's called pay for what you order and consume. What is complicated about that?

ChaosOpen · 2016-03-04T19:27:20+00:00

Problem: different people order different things. If I got a $20 plate of hot wings(leftovers ftw) I am not paying for a majority of the bill when you got $70 worth of food because you wanted an appetizer, ribeye, and chocolate mousse dessert.

NonOpinionated · 2016-03-04T20:08:04+00:00

i wonder if they will require Asian people to pay more than white people...

Separate Checks, Please !

McFeely_Smackup · 2016-03-04T21:33:27+00:00

There's a fundamental mistake in the assumption behind this app. That being "why would your friends pay your bill for you?".

If you want to tell the restaurant you're only paying 68% of your bill because the patriarchy, fine...good luck with that. But I'll be paying my own bill and leaving before the cops arrive.

intensely_human · 2016-03-04T19:46:22+00:00

As if men don't already spend a huge portion of their earnings on women.

franklindeer · 2016-03-04T21:54:54+00:00

When and where did this idea of applying demographics to individuals become a thing. Should your female friend that works as a lawyer pay less than your white male friend that works as a grocery store shelf stocker? It's nonsense.

Madlutian · 2016-03-04T19:25:08+00:00

Yeah, it would be nice if women (besides my wife) actually paid ANY part of a bill when we go out.

iroxnoah · 2016-03-04T19:23:49+00:00

They tell you to protest the app by downloading it and using their built in "protest" feature.

AFandAM · 2016-03-04T19:46:40+00:00

Anyone using this turd in my presence gets an automatic ticket to I-never-want-to-even-see-you-again-for-any-reason town. Even if it is a family member. Fucking disgraceful.

HaryJReynolds · 2016-03-04T19:46:56+00:00

The veneer covering the "we want free shit" aspect of feminism is slowly but surely coming off.

forseriustho · 2016-03-04T21:17:27+00:00

The truth of the "pay gap" is way more interesting.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/freakonomics-radio/id354668519?mt=2&i=360225959

Essentially the times that women do get paid less they are getting compensated instead for having more "temporal flexibility" (i.e., flexible schedules). Even when they work the same number of hours, men get paid to work the shitty hours and are compensated for it.

People that want to have flexible schedules AND get paid like those who don't are people who want to have their cake and eat it, too.

So did anyone bother to see it's a joke? It was presented a comedy contest. http://equitableapp.com/

qdobe · 2016-03-04T21:31:34+00:00

Every girl I know makes more money than me...

SaiHottari · 2016-03-05T02:48:41+00:00

Fun story: A female friend of mine and I went to Subway to grab some lunch. I'm not dating this girl, so when it came time to pay with our sandwiches we each paid for our own. When the female cashier asked me if I was paying for both and I said no, she gave me the MOST VILE look of judgement I have ever seen in my life. You could cut the contempt in the air with a knife. Even the girl I was with could see it and remarked about it later. Like, really? We aren't even dating and I am expected to pay for her sandwich?

toooooommmmmy · 2016-03-04T19:16:54+00:00

This app rapes statistical analysis. It also rapes the diversity that we call the human condition.

Blutarg · 2016-03-04T20:36:22+00:00

LOL they've figure out that in a hundred years the "pay gap" will disappear. I'm sure that took very rigorous math.

throwaway2049er · 2016-03-04T19:57:24+00:00

If women as a group are going to complain about inequality, then isn't it fair to treat them collectively too? I mean, women don't pay for even half of restaurant bills when out with men. I doubt they even pay 10%.

bootywhap · 2016-03-05T01:24:09+00:00

That app was made as a joke if I recall

bufedad · 2016-03-04T21:18:57+00:00

Use this on every date.

That way they can pay their fair portion.

2016-03-05T01:31:30+00:00

Ironically the only white men who would dine with the kinds of banshees that would use this app are SJW manginas.

lalicat · 2016-03-04T22:41:57+00:00

If a girl whips out this app she's paying for the whole thing because I'm leaving.

Tmomp · 2016-03-04T23:29:32+00:00

Men get injured and die on the job more than women.

To achieve equality, will this app bring the dead men back to life and heal the wounded ones or maim and kill women?

MindlessElectrons · 2016-03-04T21:56:24+00:00

Except I'm not going to pay for something I didn't eat. If I just get a drink and you order the $25 crab, I'm not paying $25 for crab I didn't eat.

Pepper-Fox · 2016-03-04T22:40:47+00:00

Everyone bring your tax returns for last year and your past 2 paystubs to dinner.

colorado_here · 2016-03-04T23:37:15+00:00

There's no way anyone seriously considering using this would have enough friends to make it useful.

Bearded_Deity · 2016-03-04T23:46:30+00:00

What in the actual fuck.

How is it this gender wage cap myth persists? I'm really getting tired of hearing it. They've been pushing this crap for years, but now that more information comes out, we learn that women elementary school teachers, expect to get paid the same as a male ENGINEER. Women and men do not take the same jobs, and as such do not get paid the same when you view it "accross the board", however in the same industries, women make about 97% of what men do. A little low? Sure. But not enough to cause shit like this to start popping up. God I hate people.

Mikesapien · 2016-03-05T08:01:10+00:00

How do the absolute nutcases who like the idea of this app envision it will go?

Friends meet up after work, dine out, waitress comes by, leaves the bill:

"Can we split the check?"

"Sure, no problem."

"HOLD IT, I've got this app we should try."

"Oh? What for?"

"It uses research from the Institute of Women's Policy and statistics from the Bureau of Labor to divide the bill equitably based on–"

"Uh, no. You pay for your own fucking mimosas, Karen."

Never mind. This whole scenario is premised on foaming-at-the-mouth wage gap conspiracist feminists actually having friends.

PotatoScallops · 2016-03-05T08:36:47+00:00

I guess I'm pretty lucky that I'm unlovable and never had a girlfriend, no need to pay for dates

Pepper-Fox · 2016-03-04T22:42:48+00:00

If someone I met whipped this out after dinner I would gladly pay because it's a great red flag up front so I never have to acknowledge that person ever again. That's worth paying extra for.

mastersword130 · 2016-03-04T23:16:45+00:00

Wow, an app that is sexist and racist all in one! Good going!

IamA_Irri · 2016-03-04T23:30:21+00:00

I can't help but feel that this app was made after realizing that equality meant having to pay for their own food at restaurants.

How is it possible for someone living in an era with so much information and data readily available to still believe in the gender pay gap?

GamerSam · 2016-03-04T23:55:17+00:00

The racism is strong with this app.

theninjallama · 2016-03-05T02:28:59+00:00

Too bad no males are going to be going out to eat with people who use this app!

amedeus · 2016-03-05T07:45:19+00:00

I'd just pay for what I ordered and walk out. They don't like it, fuck 'em. They don't sound like people I'd want to hang out with again, anyways.

greyfoscam · 2016-03-05T09:49:51+00:00

Whats funny is this app talks about equality but their server is still making minimum wage.

twodogsfighting · 2016-03-05T10:17:20+00:00

"I'll eat by myself, thank you"

the23one · 2016-03-04T22:14:38+00:00

So is this good or bad for women? "Finally an app that figured percentages for me because I don't know how". Not only is it wrong, it makes women look dumb which is also wrong

slayerx1779 · 2016-03-05T13:36:54+00:00

From what I've heard, the app dev was just making a joke with it.

Now that it seems popular, they're going through with it.

I assume.

Kronik_NinjaLo · 2016-03-05T13:38:13+00:00

That doesn't sound biased at all

perverted_alt · 2016-03-05T15:22:53+00:00

Funny how all my female friends make twice what I make working front desk positions and I'm in a factory operating very high load hydraulic presses, almost lost my hand to one last year. But they still make 25-30 per hour with minor experience in appointment and scheduling. I tried to get into those positions, but they only want females. Hmm......

pharaohchromium · 2016-03-05T05:07:01+00:00

Princeso_Bubblegum · 2016-03-04T21:34:44+00:00

I don't even understand why you need an app, do people not know how to do basic math anymore? Doing ratios and splitting the bill is like 6th grade math.

I am more pissed at the laziness of the app.

Maybe we should make an app that does the same thing by profession, age, marital status, etc instead.

Then people would be shown relevant information regarding earnings instead of stroking egos.

Detox1337 · 2016-03-05T13:16:12+00:00

Some one should do a statistically corrected version of the app that pretty much just divides by the number of people within a few percentage points.
